   I've uploaded wordpress 2.6 into my cPanel directory at bluehost. I'm putting it in a special subdirectory because it's going to be a second blog for me. I've already created the database for it and have modified the wp-config file accordingly.

   I'm already to point my browser at the website.com/wp-admin/install.php and it returns the

   parse error - unexpected T_STRING in wp-config.php at line 17

   I check the syntax but can't find anything wrong.
   I removed the two lines that I didn't need,
   $table_prefix and
   WPLANG

   Can anyone help?
   Pls email me at moneyenergy AT hotmail too, if anyone sees this....

   Finally fixed it.

   EVERYBODY PAY ATTENTION: You can't have apostrophes ' and quotes " in your secret keys. Delete them. Wordpress says you can "make up" your secret keys to be whatever you like, but it's not true. If there are apostrophes within the ' and ' that are supposed to be there, your install won't work.

   You can do that -- you wont, but you can.

   Guys,

   I removed the " and the ' but I'm yet facing this sort of an error - Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\hosting\member\diabetescare\wordpress\wp-config.php on line 13

   I'm at a total loss. I even entered my own made up keys to make sure I was not using any special characters and yet this error persists.

   I'm using notepad to make the edits. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

   I removed the " and the '

   But you left it there around the key, right?
   define('AUTH_KEY', 'whatever'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

   Moshu, there was some problem running the latest version of wordpress on my host. I downloaded and set up version 2.0.5 (provided thru my host) and hey presto, I'm in business!

   That is not a secure version.
